Animal Traffic are a new Dublin music band formed in 2020. The project began as a solo bedroom enterprise of Australian-born, Irish-based musician Ben O'Connor, who wrote debut single Lightness in his bedroom in Brisbane and recorded and mixed it in his bedroom in Dublin. They are influenced by reverby guitar bands like Duster and The Apples in Stereo, jazz harmony, glittery midwestern emo, and the sincere weirdness of Neutral Milk Hotel and The Books.
First single 'Lightness' arriving in 2021 is an indie guitar ballad that keeps room for colouring outside the lines.
